Nine Artists to Watch for at Electric Zoo 2015

We’re really excited around here for Electric Zoo, so for “research” I’ve been cruising through the non-headliners and planning my attack. I hesitate to call them all smaller artists, but you know what I mean. I’m just pumped for the whole weekend, and if you’re going I’m sure you are too.

*Official set times won’t be announced until just before the festival, so there may be overlap in timing here.

Ares Carter

For fans of: Hardwell, Alesso, Arty

At 17, Ares Carter is just warming up for what will likely be a storied presence in the world of dance music.
